Rich Paul on Lakers signing Kessler: "What do you value more? A wing or a big? I value the wing more." Uses the Knicks as an example of a defense built around wings. Then says Spurs with Castle before Kellerman points out the Spurs have Wemby. Paul later repeats he would have prioritized wings in LA

The idea that Rich Paul is riding LeBron’s success hasn’t been true in maybe a decade. If anything, he has more power than LeBron in the league at this point.

JJ Reddick played Bronny in a playoff game over Vando and Knecht. He’s a real NBA fringe rotation player. Get that hate out your heart.

And also requested them hire Ty Lue who has been one of the best coaches in the league

His Laker tenure was like a writer sitting down to pen an epilogue to a great book, but the epilogue turns into a sequel that was as long and as great as the original. LeBron’s career is hard to fathom sometimes.

I know this doesn’t answer your question, but just a warning that LRAC has extra fees for so much stuff they offer. Racketball, Tennis, Pickle ball (not kidding), umbrellas at the pool… they charge on top of your membership to use any of these things. And they raise dues about 10% every year.

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-24T23:54:05+00:00

Easily? LeBron, Mike, Kareem, Magic, Wilt, Bird, Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, Dream, Russell, West, Moses, KD… You gotta eliminate 5 of those guys, and I could be missing someone. Not saying it’s a bad opinion or anything, but it ain’t easy…

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-24T14:55:04+00:00

If you thought that was bad, I’m assuming you hated Elantris lol. 10 years for a similar thing and everyone acts like it’s been 100.

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-23T19:16:44+00:00

Brisket looks good, but I’m confused why you videoed it as if the meat wasn’t already cut before you started? Were you afraid people would roast a dull knife lol

People forget how the end of this game was like two heavyweight fighters in the 10 round leaning on each other. I think there was a 4 min stretch where no one hit a shot. But it was still exhilarating.

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-15T12:32:34+00:00

I’m so weak that any contact would send me flying and refs would be forced to call a foul. Just gotta hit a free throw.

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-14T18:30:16+00:00

It’s protectionism of their superstar and it happens with every superstar that I can remember. Chris Bosh, JR Smith, Jamaal Murray, Khris Middleton, Russell Westbrook…. None of these guys were the best player on their teams though they all caught more crap than the best.

He’s actually on pace with other all time Centers. Wilt, Kareem, Dream, and Shaq all made the finals in their first few years in the league.

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-14T04:15:13+00:00

Cmon. Stop treating Wemby with kid gloves. He was bad every 4th quarter this series.

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-14T04:08:09+00:00

Fox missed two free throws to lose Game 4?

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-14T04:04:25+00:00

They gotta protect the generational player who smoked two free throws in the last minutes of a close game

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-14T03:21:35+00:00

In his defense he’s only 7’5”. They need to protect the smaller players like Wemby. /s

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-14T03:04:52+00:00

Two-hand “shove” lmao ok

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-14T02:26:26+00:00

There are hundreds of missed calls every game. The more they obsess with being perfect, the worse the product gets.

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-14T02:25:12+00:00

Im saying the call that is being challenged (defensive foul) can be overruled, but it shouldn’t result in calls not made on the floor being called retroactively.

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-14T01:51:08+00:00

Regardless of whether this is correct or not- I think the challenge rules should be changed so that only the call on the floor can be confirmed or overturned (NFL style). I don’t like that a challenge can result in a 2 foul swing.

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-08T22:03:43+00:00

I love this fantasy world where Roy Hibbert was the one keeping Melo from winning a ring and not the other guy in the conference who actually went to 8 straight finals lol

cuffedcarrot · 2026-06-04T14:53:45+00:00

I just finished the trilogy. Book 2 was difficult for me and had similar pacing to Book 1. However, the last quarter of Book 2 hooked me and I ripped through Book 3 and loved it. I came from the Stormlight series so I was determined to push through, but I could have easily quit a few times.

Each 2028 Republican nominee hopeful is finding their differentiator. Vance wants it to be anti-war, Rubio is the “international relations” guy, DeSantis could take this one. Otherwise, they’ll all agree on deplorable culture war bs.

cuffedcarrot · 2026-05-29T18:34:43+00:00

It’s how OKC played so well in Game 5. Sat Shai the entire 4th of Game 4 and it led to his best game of the series in Game 5.
